Earth Day Classroom Activities With School District 109

In celebration of Earth Day, April 22, the Sustainability Commission partners with School District 109 to bring sustainable activities and curriculum to the classroom. 2018 was the fourth year of this joint programming effort. This year, Kipling Elementary, Walden Elementary, Wilmot Elementary and Shepard Middle School participated in energy conservation activities that included a Home Energy Savings Game, Art & Essay Contest (2018 winners pictured), Carbon Footprint Project and a hands-on lighting demonstration presented by Walgreens.

In addition to these events, Walgreens hosted a presentation on their Net Zero Store at Shepard Middle School on March 8. See photos from the presentation below.
